(The interesting thing I found there was how Kazan's comments about how he didn't feel the need to risk his career for communists because they tried to strong-arm his control of a theatrical group he was in. Sure puts his testimony in an interesting light--I can't think of ANYONE who would have held back from doing so based on creative interference. You can be sure if the House asked Hollywood types today to testify about Conservative interference today, they'd be leaping over each other to name names.)
Just skimmed this so far but it's fascinating stuff. Oh, and any other references to Hollywood and communism would be appreciated.
Elia Kazan was still reviled at the Oscars where notable celebs sat on their hands and refused to applaud the “snitch” who’s loose lips outed the truth of Communism in Hollywood.
Better to disclose US military secrets to the enemy than to betray mother Russia.
Do you remember a few years back when Elia Kazan was given a Life Time Achievement Award (I think it was at the Oscars)Anyway, a whole bunch of today’s anti-America crowd refused to applaud (ed harris, et al).
